The NY-21 congressional seat that was expected to be vacant back in early January is about to open up, triggering a special election to be scheduled soon.
Governor Kathy Hochul and the National Democratic Party have a scheme that would delay the special election to replace Congresswoman Elise Stefanek, according to NYS Senator Joe Griffo. The plan would delay the special election and make sure that the Republican led House is at least one member shy going into upcoming votes, at least into springtime, said Griffo.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced this week applications are now being accepted to provide up to $50,000 in tornado and other summer storm relief to CNY residents.
